COI^?BlAv S. ; C. Sunday Morning, April 17,1870. Tb? Ho vic wer Ile vic wed-TH o Prcas Con? ference-No. 1. We have already acknowledged the courtesy of tue author in sending to us a copy of his Review of the resolutions of the press .conference. Wo further acknowledge the fair and courteous spi? rit in which ho has performed the work which he assigned to himself. In a simi? lar spirit, it is our purpose briefly to re? view the reviewer and to discuss the programme that he sets forth. The pamphlet under review is divided into six articles. In article No. 1, the author of the Review, alluding to tho claim that the principles of tho press conference resolutions, to wit: that our people shall recognize the legal right of all the citi? zens of the State, irrespective of color, to suffrngo and their right to office also, subject only to personal qualification and fitness-are proper as embraciag a wise acceptance of the situation and a putting aside of dead issues, holds that we had already "accepted the situation." That is, that when we laid down our arms and submitted to the rulo of the conqueror, the ^'situation" was then fully "accept? ed." Thia is his first point. Our answer to this is, that an acceptance of the situ? ation, in the sense of a necessary policy, extends beyond our original admissions and embraces the sequence of them. When'vie admit the emancipation of the slaves of the Booth, we must admit all the consequences that flow from said emancipation. In our country and ac? cording to the genius of our institutions, there is no half-way ground for citizens to stand upon. When the negroes of the South were declared free, they rose logi? cally and necessarily to CITIZENSHIP and thenoe, by law, they were lifted to the privileges of suffrage and office-holding. Whether this last elevation was consum? mated wisely or unwisely, constitution? ally or the reverse, is not now the ques? tion. The point is, that the matter is de facto, and according to the forms of law, accomplished. This has passed into the domain of "fixed facts." When it was in the sphere of debate, it was com batted. Having passed beyond that sphere, it is accepted-and the most is now to be made of it. We hold, there? fore, that it was proper for the press conference to make the declarations that are oontained in resolutions No. 1 and No. 2. This is accepting the situation as the situation is now. Bat, says the au? thor of the Raview, it is proposed that "in place of the Federal bayonet, our own hands shall be raised to prop" this "inverted, tottering programme" that represented the politioal condition of this section. We answer, not so. The pro? gramme of aotion comprehended within the scope of the press conference resolu? tions looks to the righting of this py? ramid. By taking a praotical, common? sense view of the situation, it is contem? plated that the "Caucasian race" shall enter tho field, assert its power and re? place the pyramid upon its base-and do this, too, upon the basis of an enlight? ened and impartial humanity-claimiug for itself only what it shall win upon a fair field of honest effort. Elsewhere will be found the article No. 1, upon which we have commented. Wo shall continue our comments, and at the same time, give tho articles or tho re? viewer as we subject them to review. -? * ? ? G IBRA M'Ait.-The absurd canard which oame from abroad, of Mr. Bright's in? tention to restore Gibraltar to Spain, has at once directed the attention of the world to that famous rock and fortress, although the report has bcou officially contradicted. "It derived its name, Gebol-el-Tarok, Tarel's rock," says au authority, "from the Saracenic chief who first occupied it, early in tho eighth cen? tury. It came into tho hands of tho Eoglish in July, 1704, and has boen re? tained ever since, though various at? tempts have been made to retake it. By the treaty of Utrecht, in April, 1713, it was ceded to England. From July, 1779, to February, 1783, Gibraltar was be? sieged by the combined forces of France and Spain, and suffered greatly from the smallness of the garrison, the scarcity of provisions, and the constant fire of the enemy. The munitions of war ex? pended on that occasion by tho besiegers cost over $10,000,000. Ona single occa? sion 8,000 barrels of gnu-powder were ex? pended by them. As it stands, Gibraltar cannot have cost England less tuon twonty to thirty millions, sterling, und is retained at an annual cost of 01,500,000. The Strait of Gibraltar is about eleven miles wide where narrowest, and bas tho enormous depth of 2,188 fathoms." FXRE IN CHESTER.-Wo learn that a destructive fire occurred in Chester last night, destroying tho dwelling and store of Mr. Wm. Hunter, of that town. Tho loss is estimated at $46,000. Tho fire engine "Stonewall" was brought into requisition, but having no cisterns, it was not of much use. Tho colored peo? ple, it is said, did not seem to tako an interest in saving anything, but quietly folded their hands and looked on tho de? vouring flames, until they had entirely consumed tho building and contents. I Winnsboro News. Corresponde nc o ofColnmblo Pheonix. TALLADEGA, AI.A., April 15. 1870. Mn. EDITOR: There io an innato somer thing that makes o mon pron$ otU hi? nativo laud; that sonjthing which make? old England deny voluntary expatriation to her sous. With no people ia the world has that feeling become such a fixed principio as with South Carolinians. Aa extensivo tour over the West has latterly thrown me intimately among a vost number of men, and wherever I met a man that had any claim upon Soath Carolina, I found he cherished it with pride. Even foreigners, who wero once her sons by adoption, seldom spoke the name of oar State without pronounc? ing upoa her a God's blessing. Ono gentleman said to me: "I love Qeorgia because I was born there; but I love South Carolina more, for my mother was a Soath Carolinian." I have been more than onco told, -'When you say 'lam a Carolinian,' always use the word Sout7i: it means something." There must be some substantial cause for this universal love; and manifold reasons caa be assigned for it. Ia the first piuco, our political oxtsteDce was a political unity, unparalleled in the history of any country. Secondly, oar literary institutions were seats of honor as well as seats of learn? ing. Thirdly, the elective f ranch iso was often a reserved privilege in Soath Caro? lina; for iu?tanco, the mass did not elect the Executive, neither was the benoh a seat of popular promotion. And oar judiciary system being one where merit alone favored the caadidate, tended, perhaps, os mach as any other canse, to produce that State pride of which I have Bpoken. Who does not remember having gone into a court boase, with almost fear and trembling, to hear the eloquence of aa O'Neall, or the sarcasm of a Withers? And who of this generation will ever forget tho acumen of a Wardlaw, or the finished dignity of a Duncan? And where, on this continent, was deportment so valued as in a Carolina court room, where the full snit of black was as essential to tho bar as the toga was to the bench? West of the Savannah river I have seen lawyers in variegated apparel, without cravat aad vest un? buttoned, addressing "your honor," whose boots hadn't been blacked io a fortnight, and who wore neither collar nor cravat. And more than once the lawyer's "I doae," and his houor's equally inelegant "yon ain't," have grated upon my ear. In New Orleans, where the oourt room is a caboose, scarcely capable of seating one ia 500 of hor population, I saw a criminal arraign? ed for murder, sitting leisurely among the profession, while bin lawyer, seated, too, examined the witness sitting ia a large arm-chair. The lack of dignity, and tho absence of the criminal's box, alike destroyed the majesty of the court and the horror of the crimo. Now, if these things be so, and if we are unable to preserve this peculiar identity of our State, caa wo do nothingcommomorative of that feature of her existence? Will this be the duty of the futnm historian? Would not a "History of the South Carolina Bench for fifty years," bo an interesting work if truthfully written? Yours, truly, A. Quito an excitement was gotten up in S turk vi lie, Miss., a few days ago, by Mr. 'J. J. Yates breaking about 100 bottles of ale, porter, brandy cherries, etc., in front of his store. One of the citizens of that place, a strong devotee of temperance, in conversation with Mr. Yates, con? vinced him that his keeping and selling such beverages was assisting to make wino-bibbers and drunkards of young people, and proposed to share half the loss with Mr. Yate?, and destroy the stock on hand. The proposition was ac? cepted and Mr. Yates took this method of publicly proclaiming that he was henceforward a temperance man. A country paper speaking ferociously of tho arrest of a fellow for selling a spurious watch-guard, says: "The chain of guilt is complote ; it having been as? certained that it was a gilt chain."

It is au ungrateful task to differ with our friendo. It ?B moro than ungrateful toido *o, wh^n those whose sincerity we cannot doubt, who?e judgment we re spect, and who, from their position, are entitled to un opinion, unite in .counsel. We have nO objection to a convention of our people to consult upon the circum? stances in which wu are placed, but bhrn and bred in a community who have ever listened to those who wonld express their thoughts, however much at variance with the opinion of the hour those thoughts might be, we shall ventnre to consider and discuss the principles which the late Convention of the Press, iu this State, have unanimously resolved to announoe as tho basis of our future action. The principles which they have declared aro, that our people shall recognize tho legal right of all the citizens of tho State, ir? respective of color, to suffrage, and their right to office OIBO, subject only to per? sonal qualification and fitness. This, we are told, they advise as putting aside dead issues, and aocepting the situation. We have accepted the situation. When we laid down our arms, wo submitted to the rule of the conquering power. The choice then before UH was between star? vation, devastation and horrors greater than those of war, on the one hand, and on the other a Qovernment opposed to our principles and averse to our tastes, and which might be vindictive. We chose the latter. The people of the North seemed at first disposed to be contented with the praotioal contradiction of the theory of secession, and the exhibition of their power to retain the cotton States within their domain. But the vigorous efforts of the Southern people to renew their overtaxed resources, their wonderful success during tho first two years after the surrender, warned the radical party that its power could be secured only through the passions engendered by the war. Hence tho reconstruction mea? sures, with the double purpose of adding to their strength and humiliating our people. AH has been well observed by a foreign writor, tho refinement of cruelty in con? quest was reserved to tho United States Government-the infliction of moral degradation in the plaoe of physical pun? ishment. The Northern people have, by force, placed the former slave over his master, and have elevated tho African over their own brethren of the Cauca? sian race. They have inverted the pyra? mid, and, for two years, have kept it standing upon its apex by the support of the bayonet. But all this was the risk we accepted when we laid down our arms in order to return to our homes to pro? vide food for our starving families, and to protect our defeuceless fire-sides. We acaepted the situation, and when, therefore, negro soldiers wore sent into our most peaceful districts, we would not notice their insolent bravado, and when our fellow-oitizens were tauntingly marched, under negro guard, through our streets, wo turned aside to hide the tear of humiliation, or the expression of unavailing anger. We accepted the situation, and wheu, therefore, a person publicly charged as a public defaulter was placed over us as Mayor, against the votes we were per? mitted to cast; and when another as pub? licly charged as a blackleg, a forger and a murderer (charges which, repeated again aud again, ho has never attempted to deny) was admitted without question as our Representative to Congress, we made no useless remonstrance. When strangers were put over us to be our judges, we beard thom declare from the bench their ignorance of the law they were undertaking to administer, strug? gled to recognize in their pronunciation tho most familiar names of our people, and bore without remark a tone to which we were not accustomed. Our neighbors even jeered us for our forbearance under taunts and indignities instigated by onr oppressors to rouso us to futile resist? ance. Our people had accepted the situation, and they submitted to all these as the results of the surrender of their arms. Without the power to resist, they dis? dained to complain. Their wealth, their influence, their luxuries, their hopes, were all put aside as dead issues. But having so accepted the results of their struggle, it is now proposed by some of ourselves that we shall do more; that in placo of tho Federal bayonet, our own bands shall be raised to prop tho invert? ed, tottering pyramid. That we shall recoguizo the right of all races ia our midst to suffrage aud to office, ourselves rivet tho chains with which our bands and feet aro now bound. Assured that those who have an? nounced these principles do not believe that tho results we anticipate will fol? low, we propose to discuss tho proposi? tion with tho kindness and sincere re? spect duo to its authors, aud will ask, Messrs. Editors, tho spaco to do so in another, and, perhaps, other numbers of your paper. "Oh! what an excellent Tonic," is tho language of tho invalid who uses SOLO I MONS' BITTERS. N21 Cheap Dry Goods.

Tho annual meeting of tho stock? holders of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company will bo held in this city on Thursday, the 28th instant. Mr. Barry, of the "Carolina House," requests us to inform his frieuds and the public that to-morrow (Monday) he will servo up a monster "Fenian turtle," whioh he has just received from the "Emerald Isle." Tho PHXENIX office is supplied with every style of material from the small metal lotter to the largest wood typo, together with plain and fancy cards, paper, colored ink, bronze, etc. It is the only establishment in the interior of the State where two and three sheet posters can be printed. All kinds of work in the printing line attended to at short notice. We are highly gratified at being able to stato that tho old annihilator-tho Independent Fire Engine Company-is undergoing a complete rejuvenation, in every sense of tho term. The old reel, which was deprived of its wheels on the memorable 17th of February, 18G5, (and has since, been exposed to tho damaging influence of the weather.) has been re wheeled and will soon be in condition to fill its proper sphere. A new, very hand? some and yet economical uniform-blue flannel coat, faced and bound with red, tastily constructed belt and spanner- case, and substantial hat-bas been provided. Thc "little engine," which has been instrumental in saving a great amount of property, is found alongside its giant successor, and in an emergency can bo brought immediately into service. Great oredit is due to Captain J. C. Sutphen, for tho perseverance and energy ho has always displayed in all matters relating to the company. Nor must our go-ahead friend, Lewis Levy, Esq., be forgotten ; he has been connected with the company since its organization, nearly forty years ago-in fact, is a charter member; and is as earnest and energetic as ever. As soon as the new militia law goes into operation, wo verily believe, the Inde? pendent will fill up to its ante-war quota -eighty men. Columbia feels proud of her fire department; the "Palmetto" and "Independent" companies can safely be rated "A No. 1." CHARLOTTE, COLUMBIA AND AUGUSTA RAILROAD-TRIAL TRIP OF THE NEW LOCO? MOTIVE "LEXINOTON."-Yesterday after? noon, upon tho invitation of the railroad officials, wo embarked upon tho locomo? tive "Lexington," in its trial run. This locomotive has recently been completed at tho shops of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company, whore it has boon constructed throughout. The Master Machinist, Mr. Theodore D. Kline, with his skillful assistants, de? serves great credit for this work. Tho locomotive presents a finished appear? ance; contains all tho modern improve? ments, together with some original fea? tures, and in mechanical execution and excellence of materials, will comparo with any thing of the kind made in this country or in Europe. We noticed with groat satisfaction tho performance of tho pump, which does its duty whenever it is desired, it matters not whether the train is standing, in slow motion, or in rapid motion. On the trial trip, the lo? comotive worked to the complete satis? faction of tho builder, and mado a smooth, steady and regular run. Every part of tho machinery worked to a chnrin Hko yurts of ono harmonious whole. But this was not tho only feature of the occa? sion to interest the excursionists. We took, on tho occasion, our seat in a now and handsome coach, just from the com? pany shops. This coach for passengers is one of the finest and most completo that wo have ever seen, and we believe it is as good a coach as is constructed in tho establishments at tho North. We ' were informed that the materials through out Aro of So Uth?rn wood-the walnut and the maple from North Carolina, and the pine used from. South Carolina. The workmanship, inoluding tho upholstery and the painting, seemed to ns excellent, and the whole work reflects care, taste and judgment. In this connection, we may say that we were informed that our State furnishes all the woods needed in the manufacture of cars, but the trouble is to get the lumber sawed and delivered. This locomotive and the coach tb whioh wo have referred, were built at the com? pany chops hero. Th uso shops now givo employment to about eighty men, have been constructed since tho war, and aro now in excellent working trim. The lo? comotive is tho first built throughout, not only in this Stats, but porhops in tho South. The company has been build? ing its own coaches sinco tho war, and we learn that thero is but ono of North? ern make on the road. The fact of the matter is, the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad is in good hands and is, wo believe, tho best managed railroad in tho South. Ita President, its Super? intendent, its Treasurer, its Freight Su? perintendent, its Muster Machinist, and tho officials, us far as we know them, are tho right men in the right place. We desire, especially, to make honora? ble mention of tho enterprise and skill evinced in the turning ont of such work as we have witnessed. It shows what wo can do at home, and how we may make ourselves industrially independent and keep our money at homo. Wo must not omit to state that a locomotive can be made cheaper here than bought at the North, and that the coach wo rode in, cost but a little moro than one-half what it could have been purchased for abroad. In conclusion, we wish to congratulate Mr. T. D. Kline upon his offspring in mechanics, the fino locomotive, tho Lexington. In times like these, he who completes a work like this deserves more credit than one who makes a speech or composes au epic. RELIGIOUS SERVICES THIS DAY.-Tri? nity Church-Rev. P. J.
